Planning Searches

Planning Applications Search

• You can view details of planning applications from 1974, scanned decision notices from 1990, and plans and accompanying documents for applications registered from 1st August 2005.
• Images of most scaled drawings received since the 1st May 2010 may be measured using Adobe Reader extensions. You may need to set Adobe Reader on your PC so that you view the drawing through that and not the browser. Instructions are in this brief guide to using the measuring tool.   See also the more general Planning Portal guide.
• If the status of an application in the search results list is 'Consultation period' you can comment or respond to a consultation request using an online form. Note that submission details do not appear on the website immediately - this can take two or more days after you make a comment online.

*** BODHAM WIND TURBINE APPEAL DECISION ***

The Government’s appointed Inspector has ALLOWED the appeal for the Bodham Wind turbine (Ref: PF/11/0983), notwithstanding the objections put forward by the Council and other interested parties.  A copy of the decision is available HERE. The Council has initiated a challenge to the appeal decision and the matter will be considered by the High Court in due course.

Search Hints

• Application Quick Search - you don't need to type the full reference - for the new style reference, use YY/nnnn e.g. 09/1234
  For the old style reference, use YYYYnnnn e.g. 20051234 (for applications registered up to the 28th October 2009).
• Search by Address - works best with a partial address like 'High Street Holt'.
  A Postcode search may not find all applications for that postcode. We do not recommend using a postcode search. 
• Use the More Search Options at the bottom of the page to search on one or more of Parish, Location or date range, or to search for appeals.

In the Results
